At Frankfort Community Public Library, we are fortunate to have volunteers that are essential partners in many library projects that impact our community. Volunteering can be far more than simply doing a good deed. In fact, volunteering can be a great way to develop skills, learn more about career options, make friends, or even just shake up your routine. We value your involvement and offer a variety of opportunities to match your interests and skills.
